All you ever wanted to know..

Or possibly not to know about the Bearded Iris. The Irisi flowers have three petals called "standards" that reach up and three petals called "falls" that hang down like ball gown skirts. "Beard" refers to fuzzy hairs on the falls. There is even a Bearded Iris Society. Yes, thats right. It just proves that there is something for everyone. I just happen to love the flower!
